Re: 4TH DAY - Doing well - hungry

Wow 15lbs in 4 days is great! I have kept quite a comprehensive diary each day excepting details on weight loss. I unfortunately have a history with anorexia, and although I have been eating and physically recovering for just over two years, I have been avoiding the scales during this fast as even now just thinking about the weight loss aspect I can feel my focus wanting to shift and I recognise the unhealthy voices inside of me. Like any addiction it does stay with you for life. I do need this but I am trying to keep it solely about my health. I will weigh myself at the end though, maybe even sooner, as long as I am assured my motives for it are right. I don't have any numbness but I do find pins and needles come on a lot easier. I had terrible pain in my right leg all day yesterday which stretching couldnt even control, however today the pain is completely gone. Amazing really. I don't have any experience with rashes whilst fasting, however perhaps they will be done with soon in the same fashion as my leg. There will be times you think breaking your fast is a good idea but if its premature and deep down you know you're not ready, resist and wait at least until the next day - you will most likely be thankful and realise you are able to go longer. All the best XXXX
